Twenty-two companies have pulled their ads from Bill O'Reilly's show after a report revealed women had accused the Fox News host of sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and inappropriate behavior.

O'Reilly's show may be taking a financial hit after BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Ainsworth, Constant Contact, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Allstate, Esurance, Untuckit, Mitsubishi, T. Rowe Price, Credit Karma, Coldwell Banker, Lexus, Bayer, Wayfair, Orkin, True Car, MileIQ, The Wonderful Company, and the Society for Human Resources Management all announced they would be removing their ads.

Over double the number of companies pulling out from yesterday's news. More a question of when not if O'Reilly will be pulled off the air.

I tired of his “thinking moderate” shtick when he slammed the Swift Boat Vets. He’s been “dead to me” ever since.

So is Bill trying to figure out if Harass is one word or two?

I’m not a fan of BOR but I think it’s a bit ridiculous that in this day & age a person can literally be ruined by “claims” of inappropriate behavior.

Aren’t claims against him kind of old news...like with the falafel incident.

I don’t like Bill but this seems like a targeted hit.

The reason the “left” has so much power is because they understand “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and “divide and conquer.”

Think about it.

Anyhow, maybe BOR can go to One America News. They’re much better than FOX now.

Something is wrong with this story.

BOR’s settlements have been well-known for years, and are a drop in the bucket compared to the revenue he generated.

Why this now? Do these companies actually advertise specifically on his show, or is this just PR blather?

I’m not sure how this works as I don’t think I have ever seen any of these companies advertise on his show.

I’m not interested. BOR is dead to me and has been for a long time. I don’t trust him.

Never a big fan of the Blow Hard BOR.
I will watch him, but not a big fan.

It appears his days are numbered at Fox.
Unless Fox wants to underwrite his salary
with no ad revenue coming in.

Seems to me Pense and his wife are **smart**.

That should read: “mutual agreement”.

This auto-spell check is sometimes very annoying.

I wanted to be fair to the Duke lacrosse team, and I also want to be fair to O’Reilly.

First, let’s see facts. They never could produce facts in the LaCrosse case.

Second, assumptions and innuendo. An assumption can eventually be shown to be true. However, it rises or falls based on fact.

Third, follow the money. The lacrosse hooker and her lawyers saw big $$$.

There are big dollars here on both sides. O’reilly won’t be the first to settle out of court because if the damage a trial would cause. This entire accusation is proof of that.

The other side of that is it cuts both ways. O’Reilly could be using settlements outside court to hide truth.

Finally, the womwn involved also would have big dollars at the end of the rainbow.

The bottom line: Mike Pence is right. Keep your wife by your side. It tends to tamp down gossip and innuendo.

Let's do this again:

So?.....Just days after the left goes crazy over Vice President Pense and his wife's mutual agreement to avoid all appearances of evil along comes O Reilly.

Seems to me Pense and his wife are **smart**.

O’Reilly is pro Trump. The Times is ginning up the stories to drive the advertisers away.

I just pray to god they never give his spot to Jessie Waters.

The purveyor of the "No Spin Zone" is spinning like a top.

O'Reilly's time is up, IMO.
